Configuration

Description

Elementary configuration is formed by a set options bounded to a given profile, like theme, “finger size”, etc.

These are functions with which one synchronizes changes made to those values to the configuration storing files, de facto. You most probably don’t want to use the functions in this group unless you’re writing an elementary configuration manager.

Profiles

Profiles are pre-set options that affect the whole look-and-feel of Elementary-based applications. There are, for example, profiles aimed at desktop computer applications and others aimed at mobile, touchscreen-based ones. You most probably don’t want to use the functions in this group unless you’re writing an elementary configuration manager.

Elementary Scrolling

These set how scrollable views in Elementary widgets should behave on user interaction.

Password show last

Show last feature of password mode enables user to view the last input entered for few seconds before masking it. These functions allow to set this feature in password mode of entry widget and also allow to manipulate the duration for which the input has to be visible.

Elementary Engine

These are functions setting and querying which rendering engine Elementary will use for drawing its windows’ pixels.

The following are the available engines:

  • “software_x11”

  • “fb”

  • “directfb”

  • “software_16_x11”

  • “software_8_x11”

  • “xrender_x11”

  • “opengl_x11”

  • “software_gdi”

  • “software_16_wince_gdi”

  • “sdl”

  • “software_16_sdl”

  • “opengl_sdl”

  • “buffer”

  • “opengl_cocoa”

  • “psl1ght”
